If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai’s boutique hotels blend intimate design, local craftsmanship and warm Thai hospitality to create stays that feel more like living with a stylish friend than checking into a chain. For the best experience, pick an Old City guesthouse for temple walks and markets, a riverside hideaway for serene courtyards and spa treatments, or a Nimman property for contemporary cafés and nightlife—look for hotels that offer cooking classes, personalized concierges and authentic decor. Book early for high season (November–February), favor small family-run places or properties with sustainable practices, and let staff tailor day trips to temples, markets and nearby hill-tribe villages for a truly memorable visit.
